Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough starter (or naan bread/store-bought pizza dough as substitute)
- 1/2 pear, thinly sliced
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese (or goat/feta cheese as substitute)
- 1/4 cup walnuts
- 1 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (or coconut sugar)
- Arugula, for topping
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for caramelizing onions)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F with baking stone or cast iron skillet for 10 minutes.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and caramelize thinly sliced red onions, stirring frequently until soft and translucent.
- Add sliced pears to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes to soften. Set aside.
- Spread sourdough starter or dough evenly on the preheated baking stone or skillet; bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make balsamic glaze by boiling balsamic vinegar and brown sugar, then simmer and stir until reduced by half.
- Remove flatbread from oven; top with caramelized onions, softened pears, walnuts, and gorgonzola cheese.
- Bake again for an additional 5-10 minutes until toppings are warmed and cheese slightly melted.
- Remove from oven and top with fresh arugula and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
Use naan or store-bought pizza dough if sourdough starter is unavailable. Substitute goat or feta cheese for gorgonzola. For a sweeter glaze, adjust sugar to taste. Adding arugula last helps keep it fresh and crisp.
